Olafur Eliasson: OPEN is the first major solo museum show of Eliasson's work in Los Angeles and is part of the landmark Getty initiative PST ART: Art & Science Collide and is organized by José Luis Blondet, Senior Curator, and Rebecca Lowery, Associate Curator, with Emilia Nicholson-Fajardo, Curatorial Assistant, and Anastasia Kahn, former Curatorial Assistant.

Continuing Eliasson’s career-long exploration of light and color, geometry, and environmental awareness, Olafur Eliasson: OPEN presents a series of site-specific installations responding to MOCA Geffen’s building and the atmospheric conditions of Los Angeles.

 

Olafur Eliasson: OPEN features over a dozen works commissioned for MOCA, along with a selection of recent works organized around the artist’s research on perception, optical devices, physics and natural phenomena, navigational instruments, and color experimentation. Eliasson draws attention to the relativity of our perception and challenges habitual ways of seeing and experiencing the world. The exhibition is informed by the artist’s belief in the potential of inconclusiveness—the idea that every artwork contains an aspect that is radically open.

OPEN is conceived as a number of fluid experiences staged in the vast industrial spaces of The Geffen Contemporary. The exhibition’s central gallery becomes a point of departure and return, welcoming visitors to meander throughout the museum as they interact with various optical devices that refract and reframe the building and its environments. OPEN offers unique explorations of light, perception, and interaction with the environment.
